-  # We fixed a bug regarding Windows fqdn resolution in Ohai on the 17-stable branch.
-  # That Ohai update requires the Resolv class. The 'resolv' class unconditionally
-  # loads the Win32::Registry class as a dependency.
-  # Chef Infra already loads Win32::Registry and has a monkeypatch for the export_string method.
-  # When the Resolv class loads again in Ohai, it overwrites the monkeypatch and that
-  # leads to registry encoding/decoding errors - Base Ruby classes return text encoded in
-  # UTF-16LE format and we need UTF-8.
-  # Here we patch the Ruby Win32/Reolv.rb file to make reloading the Win32::Registry class
-  # conditional and therefore prevent the monkeypatch from being overwritten.
